Norton Acres real estate is primarily made up of small (studio to two bedroom) to medium sized (three or four bedroom)
single-family homes and apartment complexes/high-rise apartments. Most of the residential real estate
is occupied by a mixture of owners and renters. Many of the residences in the Norton Acres neighborhood
are relatively historic, built no later than 1939, and in some cases, quite a bit earlier. A number of residences were also built between 1940 and 1969.

Norton Acres has a 14.9% vacancy rate, which is
well above average compared to other U.S. neighborhoods (higher than
73.3% of American neighborhoods). This could either
signal that there is weak demand for real estate in the neighborhood,
or that much of the housing stock is seasonally occupied,
which can occur in some markets dominated by colleges or vacation homes.
Either way, if you live here year round, you will find many of the homes
or apartments are empty for all or a portion of the year.

Notable & Unique Neighborhood Characteristics

When you see a neighborhood for the first time, the most important thing

the same, but they only reveal their true character after living in them for
a while because they contain a unique mix of occupational or cultural groups.

NeighborhoodScout's exclusive exploration and analysis.
